Behind The Lens
Location
In my apartment. I lived in St Maarten at the time.Time
It was at night.Lighting
I used a one light setup. Hard, contrast light without modifiers - aimed at the model from above and to the side of herEquipment
Camera was a Canon 5DII, I think the lens was an 85mm 1.8Inspiration
We met on another shoot, where Sara was assisting and she showed great interest in image creation. We've decided to make a small intimate session later on that week. We both enjoy simple, natural imagery of the human form and so that style was selected.Editing
Minimal skin retouching (Sara is perfect). I copied a bit of hair to cover one of her nipples, for the social media friendly version of this image. Added some blur to the edges.In my camera bag
My camera; Canon 5DVI, a speedlight with a wireless radio remote, tripod, various lenses depending on the job; For portraits and people 50mm, 85mm, and a 70-200 and for landscapes and architecture a wider focal lenghts. I almost always have a 17-40mm in my bag as it is useful in so many different applications.Feedback
Most importantly; be comfortable, know your equipment and know what you are trying to create. Be quick, best moments happens quickly. Share the results with the model, Always work as a team.
